Proverbs 17:10-15

¹⁰A reprimand hits a thinking person more than one hundred blows hit someone stupid.

¹¹Evil people are only looking to rebel, so a cruel messenger will be sent to attack them.

¹²Better to meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs than a stupid person and their foolishness.

¹³If you repay evil for good, evil will never leave your house.

¹⁴The beginning of a quarrel is like the first leak in a water dam, so drop it before a major argument bursts out.

¹⁵The Lord hates it when the wicked are acquitted and the innocent condemned.
